Upgrade to Fibre

Hi

 

Placed an order to upgrade to Fibre broadband on 06/01 and had an email informing that the move would happen today 11/01. However have had no new router, nor any further comms and looking in the order section of my account only the original ADSL order is showing from a few years ago.

I assume that the upgrade won't be happening today....which is fine since I don't have the router yet, but when can I now expect this to happen?

 

Regards

Steve

Hi @SteveBastable

 

I am sorry to hear that you are still to receive your new router, I have arranged distribution of this for you manually. This is usually sent by the automated system allowing 5 working days for delivery.

 

After reviewing the details of your order I have responded with the details of your activation here

 

If you have any further questions feel free to get in touch.

Re: Upgrade to Fibre

I have exactly the same problem. I've had one email which says I will be connected on the 11 Jan. I've heard nothing since and not received a router. Very poor communication from a communication company!!

Re: Upgrade to Fibre

I have upgraded to Fibre and have received a new router but I am still not sure if the upgrade has happened as nothing seems to have changed.  My account information is still showing as the lower broadband product.  I would like some confirmation that the change has actually been made please.

Re: Upgrade to Fibre

@fox1lady an initial check to see if the upgrade has happened

login to the Hub One at http://192.168.1.254 then click troubleshooting and then help desk.

What does it say for Line 24. Modulation ? G.992.5 or G.993.2

Re: Upgrade to Fibre

@fox1lady That says it's ADSL2 modulation, your upgrade hasn't happened yetSad

Hopefully one of the PN help staff will pick this up and advise when the upgrade will happen

Re: Upgrade to Fibre

Oh I see, it should have been completed on Friday 11th Jan.  Do I need to contact a PN member of staff on here?

Re: Upgrade to Fibre

@fox1lady Probably your upgrade date has been pushed back due to BT engineer availability

One thing you could try , go to the BT wholesale speed checker https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/adsl.htm?s_cid=ws_furls_adslchecker, enter your phone number and look at the text BELOW the box with the speed estimates.

It should have a line saying 'There is an open order on this line, due to complete on .....'

Re: Upgrade to Fibre

Apologies for the delayed staff response and the lack of communicaton regarding your fibre upgrades.

 

@ianandlorraine, I can see your upgrade is going ahead for 22/01/2019. It should go live at any point up to midnight. We'll send your new router to you within the next few days which will work with the broadband you have currently.

 

@fox1lady, I've checked your order and I can see it's still showing as in progress on our suppliers systems, but checking your connection logs you did experience about an hour drop at 9am so it looks like you're on fibre now?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.
